Stephen King, Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, Michael Connelly... and 17 other ace authors
18 famous paintings, 17 suspenseful stories born between light and shadow,
A dream collection of novels showcasing master authors, editors, and illustrators!
"Whether we're listening to stories or telling them, we are all faithful Edward Hopper fans... His paintings contain stories, just waiting for the viewer to interpret them.
